Hi,
Ok, there was some discussion in the past about replacing/rewritting
the currently useless & outdated encoding.html, mostly on IRC.
the current TOC:
+ [110]2.4 Encoding with MEncoder
o [111]2.4.1 Compilation
o [112]2.4.2 MEncoder Features
# [113]2.4.2.1 Encoding 2 or 3-pass DivX4
# [114]2.4.2.2 Rescaling movies
# [115]2.4.2.3 Stream copying
# [116]2.4.2.4 Fixing AVIs with broken index
# [117]2.4.2.5 Encoding with the libavcodec codec family
# [118]2.4.2.6 Encoding from multiple input image files
(JPEGs or PNGs)
# [119]2.4.2.7 Extracting DVD subtitles to Vobsub file
o [120]2.4.3 Available options
it needs some extending, imho we should add at least 2 big sections.
myidea about a new TOC:
- introduction
- what is it
- major features
- known limitations (avi out only etc)
- compilation
- optional libs, etc
- codecs
- video codecs
- lavc (options, tricks, rcommended parameters, realtime vs hq encoding etc)
- xvid (-//-)
- divx4/divx5 (-//-)
- rawrgb
- copy (limitations, recommended use etc)
- frameno (referenec to 3-pass encoding)
- audio codecs
- mp3 (cbr/ abr/ vbr etc)
- pcm
- copy (limitations, recommended use etc)
- filters
- video filters
- crop, expand, scale
- postproc, deinterlacing
- noise filtering, blur, sharpen etc
- eq filters (color management)
- audio filters
- resampling
- volume/volnorm/eq
- etc
- encoding tutorial
- recommendations for crop/scaling (16-aligned w/h, aspect ratio etc)
- bitrate calculation, vbr vs. cbr etc
- multi pass encoding
- dvd ripping (-streamcopy vs play_title vs dvdbackuip vs -ovc copy -oac copy)
- other uses
- cutting, appending files (-ss, -end-at etc)
- fixing broken avis
- extracting VOB subtitles
- encoding from image sequence (-mf)
- creating vcd/svcd (mencvcd)
- TV capturing/recording
What do you think?
Also, I want to collect people to write these sections.
I myself subscribing for video filters, unless someone else wants it :)
Also i can help with multipass encoding / bitrate calculation too.
I need help especially for the tutorial section (tips, recommendations for
bitrates/sizes etc) and for detailed codec parameters (effect,
advantages/disadvantages of encoding modes, B frames, various options etc).
